Private Police In Russia.

A few wears ago there also existed in
Russia a sort Of private police system
which was 40 peculiar in organization and
conduct that a description Of il may be
interesting. 1t was called the ''Holy
League" The death of Car Alexander
ii terrified the people no less than the
courts. The Holy league was an associa-
ton of loyal people to protect the young
ear. who might well have exclaimed
with Henry ": May the Lord deliver
ME from my friends; l can take care of
my enemies myself The idea Of the
association was to protect the young car
from the fate Of his father. The Holy
league (Loiataja druzina) was a secret
order, or brotherhood. The members,
among them many of the nobility,
formed a sort of unpaid volunteer police
corps. The founders of the league had
the idea that they must fight the Nihilists
with their own weapons, and SO every
thing was conducted with ominous Sec
cesy. One scheme was to offer rewards
TO workmen and peasants for information
about revolutionists or their affairs. This
led only To futile endeavors To follow up
-
false scents.
The folly of the heads Of the league
went so far as TO attempt 10 initiate the
Nihilists in secret associations and warn
ings-even to send men Il Switzerland
and England TO put out Of the way living
Nihilists. Like every novel proposition,
however foolish, the plan found numer-
Gus enthusiastic supporters among the
loyal people. 1t was received with joyful
applause. Many, amot;g them the Jews,
contributed money to the undertaking
with great ostentation, in order to show
their loyalty. But the league was q mere
fiasco. They captured few NihiIiStS. and
indeed m"r police officers. On the other
hand. many of the so called Nihilists ar
rested ly the policemen were shown To lie
member, of the Holy league. Sothcloagie
brought confusion into thecuuduct Of the
government and died after Il year Of spas
modic life. The amount Of contributions
was about S225. 000. which WI, 50 skill
fully managed by the gracious premier,
who acted as treasurer, that there was
nothing left in the treasury at the end Of
the year. Frederick Owen in Kansas

ence relating 10 the fisheries dispute"
TIE GloJe then reviews at length the re-
suits Of over two years discussion between
the British, American and Canadian Gov
ernments, and continues: THE least or
most conciliatory demand Of the United
States Government is that for settle
ment, by Mr.. Bayard, dated the 18th OF
November, 1886, and there IN not q
particle OF evidence that the United
States has re- odcd one jot from that
demand II the Commissioners ara TO
discuss the fisheries question separately,
the alternative 10 the acceptance
OF Mr.. Bayard's proposals is a state Of non
intercourse, commercial reprsals, and
probably war, The cnse is one In which
the United States has comparatively little
10 fear. Great Britain has TO fear largo
loss OF trade, large expenditure CT money
aud tho shedding Of British blood, but
not invasion. Canada has every thing
70 fear, for here would he the battle
ground, ours would be the main cost,
and our young men would furnish
the bulk OF the repast for the carrion
crow, Fortunately there is perfectly
honorable method OF settling tho fisheries
dispute-one highly profitable in the bar
gain. IL was suggested by the true Cana
dian, Mr. Wimnn, and proposed to tho
American Congress by Mr. Butterwor,h.
II has been approved by the best clemcnls
In the United States and in Can ida, that ia
a settlement by unrestricted reciprocity.

plan by tho commissioners rests the only

Beasts Causes Much Excitement

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-Onc Of the most ex-
citing scenes that ever occurred in TINS, or
perhaps any other city, took place ut the
Union Depot this afternoon and Tor tiIne
created not only a tremendous excitement,
but the widest kind Of a scare among the
people present. During the day special
tram OF passenger and Nat cars bearing
John Robinson's menagerie and circus peo-
ple and their animals from TT. Scott, Kas.,
came into the Union Depot en- route TO
Cincinnati, whore they are to winter.
About half past three the train pulled out

and ran into a freight train on side track,
demolishlng two or three cars and killing
George @Squircs, canvassman, ana
badly injuring two other circus
men named Fuller and Isle. In the
smash.up some of the animal cages on the
flat cars were broken, and Bengal tiger,
two lions, a leopard, iaguar, an ibcx and
a vu,turo escaped. The widest kind OF a
commotion followed. Depot officials and
policemen ran frantically about shouting
warning, and there was a general ana
quick stampede from the yards TO the
streets beyond, The circus and depot men
then made search for the animals The
leopard was found crouched under Q
freight car, and an attempt was made
TO lnsso him, but it failed, and tho ANNA

in the leg on the way out, bounded
into the ticket onice, and then jumped
through transom into The superintend

ANARCHISTS DOOMED.
Tho Supreme Court Denies their Appeal
The Constitutionality Of the Illinois Jury
Law Upheld. ..:.

Inv bpIcius
WAsmISGToy, Nov. 2-The decision OF
the u g. Supreme Court upon the petition
for writ of error in the case OF the Chi
cago Anarchists was announced this
afternoon by Chief Justice Waite in long
and carefully prepared opinion, which oc-
cupied thirty-iive minutes In the reading.
The Court holds in brief, first, that tho
first ten amendments 10 the Constitution
are limitations upon Federal, and not
upon State action; second, that the jury
law Of Illinois is upon its face valid and
constitutional, and that II Is similar in its
provisions to the statute of Utah which
was sustained in this court in the case OF
Hopt vs. The Territory Of Utah; third, that
it does not appear in the record that upon
the evidence the trial court should have
declared the juror Sanford incompetent; I;
fourth that the objection to the admission
of the Johann Most letter and the cross
examination of Spies, which counsel for
the prisoners maintained virtually com
PEELED them to testify against themselves
were not objected to in the trial court,
and that therefore no foundation was laid
for the exercise of this courts juris-
diction; and ilith, that the questions
raised by General Butler in the cases OF
Spies and Fielden upon the basis OF their
foreign nationality we're neither raised
nor decided in the State courts, and there
fore can not be considered here The writ
of error prayed for must consequently ba
denied There was no dissenting opinion.
